I need more evidence of who really gassed those people than some pictures and democratic leadership going into orgasim mode.
I see that we are once again in total agreement!
Hugh, can’t you disagree without being so disagreeable? Think you’re going to convince anyone with your insulting condescension?
Syria’s butcher Bashir Assad******
Hardly certain who used the gas although it makes a lot more sense the rebels did based on the direction of the war.
What isn’t in doubt is which side cuts out and eats the heart of the opposition, or, beheads a young, newly married Christian and feeds his body to the dogs.
How true! But again, the Republicans are getting blamed for an administration that dithered for several months and still shows no signs of a long-term plan. Now they have to decide...at the last minute... to vote for a strike that has no end game and whose strategy will change minute to minute as evidenced by the lead-up decision making by BO and JK.
Mr Hewitt is wrong
I am not an Isolationist. I am simply not an interventionist when there is no national interest involved. Unlike the Republicans in the 1930’s I do not argue that the US needs a less capable military. I do not doubt that there are groups and nations that would like very much to attack the US if they could. I do not delude myself, as liberals and Ron Paul does that they will stop trying to do this if the US is simply nicer to them.
US foreign policy should be based upon a few simply precepts.
1. Leave us alone and we will leave you alone. Your internal affairs are your own concern; deal with them yourself.
2. We mean what we say
3. We say what we mean
4. We will not promise more than we can deliver
5. We will not make make threats unless we are willing to back them up. We do not posture or rattle sabres.
The only nuance in these is that some cultures value honesty more than others. They would need to be enlightened as to the true simplicity of the 5 points.
Geez, I am a low level academic and I could be a better SoS than PIAPS or JF-Kerry
All the Salem talkers are big on the idea that is our Moral Duty to save the world. Every single square inch of it.
That’s strike two for Hugh.
Strike one was pushing for RINOmney.
There’s always been something about Hewitt that I don’t like.
Whether it wants to be saved or not.
heh heh heh!
Well, I’d want to keep the modern technologies. But the mores were mostly better. (The stuff we wouldn’t want, like Jim Crow, were pretty much brought by Democrats.)
STFUHH
The original problem was 0bama’s red line.
There was no willingness or strategic need to overthow Assad when the line was crossed.
So, we’re left with lobbing bombs to assuage 0bambi’s bruised little “man”hood.
Exactly... we are currently having “talks” with the Taliban... and result of a pissed off Karzai (their rivals in the drug trade main export of Afghan). Our purpose for remaining in Afghan is obscure at best but it does have something to do with rare earth minerals (which china has monopoly on) and a pipeline route. This is disgusting... period. Like Jimmy Stewart in “Shenandoah” who was like George Washington about “entanglements”.
This is Eisenhower’s warning about mil-indust. complex... plastered over with self righteous indignity over the “crime” committed supposedly by Assad (but only the secret world of elites can know how we know— classified and all that). I call BS on the entire gambit, which began in Benghazi and exposed obamaumao as further wasting our military even worse than LBJ. Deo Vindice.
which is not a salvation at all. it is a cruel hate fueled caricature of it.
Hugh Hewitt: The Voice of GOPe.
You and Mark Levin (who served in the Reagan administration) agree.
Wasn’t it Hewitt who predicted that Romney would easily win Ohio in 2012????
Start with that freaking whiny-ass voice. Like a yuppie wailing “he butted in line” at the high school cafeteria.
When Reagan bombed Libya it was after Americans had been killed. No he didn’t kill Kadaffi but he got the message and didn’t screw with us any more.
